Description
What did it mean to be a Russian in the time of the Tsars and Soviets?
This one-day event examines the building blocks of Russian identity, asking how people expressed themselves through culture, gender, and sexuality. These topics are some of the ‘intangibles’ of Russian and Soviet history. Hard to conceptualise and tricky to teach, they are nevertheless important components of major A-level and GCSE history specifications.
If they put you and your students’ head in a spin, then this event is for you!
Join three world-leading academics for talks to reboot your knowledge of Orthodox Christianity, gender and sexuality, and visual art. Trial new pedagogies for teaching Russian and Soviet culture and religion. Explore primary sources to immerse your students in the world of Russian and Soviet sex, symbols, demons, and death.
